Bug Alert: Missing Avatars and Maps in Pokémon Go
Pokémon Go enthusiasts have recently run into a big problem. Their characters and maps aren’t showing up. Players are trying everything to fix it. Some have restarted their phones and the game. Some even reinstalled the app. Sadly, none of these solutions worked.
A player reached out to Niantic, the company behind Pokémon Go, on Twitter. Surprisingly, Niantic didn’t offer a fix. Instead, they suggested a temporary solution. They told the player to switch between male and female characters. They hoped changing costumes might help. They asked the player to report back.
Community’s Reaction
Niantic’s response went viral and made it to Pokémon Go’s subreddit. Most players were unhappy. They felt let down by Niantic’s handling of the issue. One Reddit user thought it was too much. They didn’t like being asked to test solutions for Niantic.
Interestingly, the player who first reported the bug found a temporary fix. Deleting and reinstalling the game seemed to work. It’s not clear how many times they had to do this.
What’s Next?
Although Niantic hasn’t promised a fix yet, they’ll likely address it soon. There’s a big event called “Let’s GO” happening from March 21 to March 29. They’ll want to ensure all players can join in.
Final Thoughts
Players hope Niantic will quickly solve this problem. Everyone wants to enjoy the “Let’s GO” event without any more glitches. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for a fast fix.
